A successive approximation register (SAR) circuit is adopted to control the digital delay line in the delay-locked loop (DLL) to achieve very fast locking effect in this proposed thesis. And in order to get low power consumption results, a loop state controller (LSC) is utilized to disable most of circuit. Because it is more easily to design and the advantages of high stability of delay-locked loop (DLL) compared to phase-locked loop (PLL), delay-locked loop (DLL) is more widely used in the adjustment of the clock error in the high frequency situation.
This proposed delay locked loop (DLL) is added a register and a multiplexer in the feedback path. And the multiplexer does select which n-bit digital control code shall be read into the delay line; as the loop is locked, the path goes through the register is chosen to enter the sleep state ,and disable part of the circuit to make it into power saving mode. When entering the sleep state, the register provides the fixed input code; the phase error comparator (PEC) will keep tracking whether the frequency changes due to process, voltage, temperature and load (PVTL) variation uninterruptedly. Once there is something changed, the PEC will send a signal to inform the loop state controller (LSC) to enable the circuit from the sleep state, when the clock has to be locked again. And it just has 6 cycles time to relock, the lock range is form 150MHz to 900MHz. The power consuming are 15mW in lock mode and 9mW in sleep mode.
